Chapter 55: Bad Dog Origins Part 2

"Sega, do you want to mate with my sister?" Pouty and bow-shaped lips bit into an apple, large and bright red. "These things are ridiculously sweet. It's like candy."

Sega stared up at the small body sitting on the lowest branch of a tall tree, legs dangling. In the bright sun, the green hue to Valges' hair was bright and lovely against his skin. Blue eyes seemed to glow in the rays of the sun. "Why such a serious question so early in the day?"

"I get serious thoughts out early so I can fuck around for the rest of the day. It has kept me going just fine."

Sega chuckled, "you said you'd teach me how to climb trees like you do. Are you just going to hog all the apples?"

"Hmm, answer my question and you will be rewarded. Delicious things do not come free, even to a spoiled Prince. Everything has a price."

Sega shook his head, "you are annoying with all your wisdom and quotes." Sega sat in the shade beneath the tree. "I like Vahala, but I don't think I want to... fully be someone's mate any time soon. I just want to learn to be a good King and figure out what will fulfill me I guess. I know I'm supposed to say, leading my people and keeping the pack strong is what I want." Slim shoulders that were starting to bulk due to constant training shrugged. "So, I don't know Valges."

Mixed eyes glanced down at the black head before plucking an apple. "Catch," he called, but decided to plunge down with his snacks. Sega was alert as always, springing to his feet, catching him but falling and tumbling from the momentum.

Valges laughed hysterically, "your expression was priceless. Nice catch. That's pretty high up. You sure you want to learn to climb?"

Sega huffed. Having landed on top of the end of their roll, he glared down at the rash man. "Valges fuck! You gave me a heart attack, that was no small distance! Do you have a death wish?"

"I like living very much, but it's the rush for me. We all have a notch on Death's belt, Sega. Some will look Night in the eyes before others. I just wanted to see if you cared enough to risk injury to catch me."

Sega's hands were to either side of the wild head of shoulder length hair, with its wild curve and wild wisp. "Did you get your damn answer?"

It had been nearly three months at the Hall and he had grown close to three of the four Forest siblings and a few pack members from the Meadow even. Of course, as a Field Member, he did not befriend Mountain members. "You are like a feral cat. I try to keep you indoors, but all you do is piss everywhere and break my shit."

Valges shrugged. "I'm not object to this title." His hand tucked away a lock of hair that fell from the neat ponytail. "You are always so polished. I like to see you get a little dirty sometimes. I was born and raised in chaos. Posh and polished just does not fit my lifestyle."

Sega's heart pounded against his chest, but it was no longer from adrenaline. He glanced into the eyes that could rival any jewel, and he felt himself lean down. "Valges you..."

Tempt me every day, Sega finished in his head.

"Sega, if you want to kiss me, why don't you? You can take strangers to bed. You have no problem planting your face in my sister's bosom, but you don't have the balls to taste me?"

Sega laid on his side, brows knitting. "Stop it. You know why. Crossing that line is dangerous and would end miserably for us. To say our fathers would beat us half to death would be a light punishment."

Valges stared up at a pair of swooping birds in the sky. "To be animals, we sure as fuck don't enjoy the privilege. Do you think those hawks give two fucks about what daddy thinks? No, they are looking for the best bird in the damn sky and will fuck up anyone who tries to take the one they want." Valges rolled over as well, face to face with Sega.
